PS Plus' lineup of free games for May 2022 has apparently leaked ahead of Sony's official announcement.
According to a post by French leaker Billbil-Kun on Dealabs, who has accurately leaked upcoming PS Plus and Xbox Game Pass titles in the past, the free PS Plus games for May 2022 will be FIFA 22 (PS5/PS4), Curse of the Game Dead Gods (PS4) and the Tribes of Midgard (PS5/PS4). These games would be available to PS Plus members from May 3 to June 7.
The Dealabs post says that the post verified this leak (although it doesn't state how), but the post's history of accurate lineup leaks adds more weight to the claims. Additionally, the hotukdeals deal site appears to corroborate this leak, also listing these titles as the PS Plus lineup for May.
A first for FIFA
If this leaked lineup is indeed accurate, then the May 2022 PS Plus sale will mark the first time a FIFA game will be available as a free PlayStation Plus title. FIFA 22 is the latest installment in the football series, so being able to get it for free as part of Sony's subscription service would be a boon for football fans - unless you already own it, of course.
While FIFA 22 would certainly be the main title in this lineup, the other titles on offer potentially shouldn't be overlooked, especially if you're a fan of roguelikes. Curse of the Dead Gods is a roguelike dungeon crawler that will be very familiar to those who have played the excellent Hades, while Tribes of Midgard is a cooperative roguelike adventure that has garnered many positive reviews on Steam.
We're expecting Sony to confirm its May lineup of free PS Plus games in the coming days, and if that list is accurate, it's another pretty decent month for PlayStation Plus subscribers.
Things seem to be looking up for subscribers of Sony's gaming service, as the next PS Plus renewal, which will see the service combined with PS Now, is set to launch in June.
